[Plugin] VisMap 2 - Improved Layer/Scene Visibility Map

Panga

Martin, happy to see progress on vismap. Can I suggest one thing that can follow your idea of having a better reading of the whole table. Could it be possible to have one scene number with the normal font and the next one with the bold font, in order to have this :

12345678910111213141516171819...

This way when the scene number has two digits, it'll be easier to read them. Or maybe find another way to dissociate scene numbers...just an idea...

Anyway, thanks for this wonderfull plugin !!

Good idea. They were all bold, but boldface is too fat. Doesn't reduce well.

On the other hand, if I alternated two colors, ...

Try this. Edit .../Plugins/vismap2/vismap2_main.js. Insert the middle line you see here, at line 83. (Other two lines shown so you can see exactly where it goes.)



  		cell.align='center';
		cell.style.background = colors[ i % 2 ];
		cell.style.fontSize = ( size_cb + 1 ) + 'px';

I think we'll call this the Panga imProvement.

Thanks . It works perfectly !! I'll give you more feedback soon.

Thank you, Martin. There have been some situations when I get lost among my layers/scenes, so this will be useful.

Martin, this plug-in has now proved to be a life-saver. I now have a project with several scenes for an animation and when I added SketchyPhysics into the mix I had two options: Manually turn off the Physics Joints layer in every single scene... or do it in a couple of click with VisMap.

I think this is not working in SU8.

Love organization and simplicity! Thanks Martin

function

It's not working.
(worst first post ever)

function

to be more helpful - the html dialog doesn't come up when accessed from the menu, no error messages or anything

edit: upon having some other issues in SKP, I flushed my plugins folder; visMap now works- I will update again if I can narrow down which plugin caused the conflict

Martin, I get this error when trying to run VisMap 2.
The file has 44 layers and 40 scenes.

Hi Martin
Great Tool.
Would it be possible to extend VisMap 2 to include 'shadows ON/OFF'?
In large complex models it would be useful in particular to be able turn off shadows in one or more scenes without having to select, and then wait for the scene to be fully rendered with shadows before you can turn the shadows off.

I have models and animations which in the final output need shadows on, but for working and tweaking things the wait for the scene to be fully redrawn is frustrating. What do you think?

Hi, I have been using this plugin until 2014 came out. It hasn't been working for sometime. Will there be any future development?

Martin gave me the ok to update this for Sketchup 14/15. I might not have time until the weekend.
